Let’s review what we’ve learned this year from UglyHousePhotos:
1) Remove pets from real estate promotional photos. And make sure your house doesn’t smell like dirty dog or smelly cat.
2) Please complete all necessary home repairs before selling. Buyers get scared when they see holes in walls and bad drywall patch jobs. Appropriate flooring would be nice too; cardboard does not qualify.
3) Clean up the back yard and clear off the patio. A few hours spent on landscaping will be well worth it.
4) Keep your kids out of the real estate photos unless they stay with the house.
5) Review all real estate photos before they are shown to the public. Stay focused on the big picture: getting buyers excited about your house and getting buyers to write offers at the highest dollar amount.
Happy New Year! Best wishes in 2010!!

Was the cat pawing around in the litter box just moments before leaping up onto the dinner table, in front of the “Ugly-as-the-dickens” purple curtain?

I beg your pardon…but I am not a smelly pussycat.
And I didn’t want to be in this photo either.
So there.
Happy New Year!

Nope the kid was pawing around in the litter box just moments before leaping up on the cooler for some tender vittles.

Great advice! I am looking in Tubac, AZ. Someone mentioned it to me and it looks like a fun town, horsey.
